There is absolutely no excuse for a decision to take 86 weeks. And then to be denied so you know that to appeal it will likely be another 18 months by the time you can get dr appts and resubmit paperwork and wait for a decision. Govt is throwing money around to everyone and anyone but I have yet...

I also wonder whose applications are being completed in less than 58 weeks. I am currently at 75 weeks and don't see my application as being all that complicated. It was Veteran Affairs that told me to submit the application after I submitted a reassessment for an approved claim. They advised me...

Frustrating part is waiting years for a decision that you will likely have to appeal, which will take another 1.5 years in order to get benefits.

Harley, That is ridiculous. I am at 74 weeks and thought that was bad.

Harley, Has your file been at Step 3 for 107 weeks or you initially submitted the Application 107 weeks ago.

Good to hear they are still working on files.

I wish someone could explain why it takes some applications so long to be completed. I understand that some are complicated and require more information. Once an application reaches step 3 that is supposed to indicate that they have collected all of the information and it  is at decision making...

I am in the same boat. Submitted my reassessment in 2016. Was told to resubmit as a new application and so I did. Application was later Suspended by VAC for lack of info from doctor. I had to resubmit and I am now at 74 weeks since it reached Step 3. Wait times say it is an average of 56 weeks.

Current Wait Times Website indicated that 54 weeks for Disability Claims. This has been updated weekly and has remained at 54 weeks for the last month. I am currently at 72 weeks for Step 3. Not sure why it is taking so long. VAC was a mess before Covid 19 and they will be less of a priority...

I have spoken to both the Legion and Ombudsman and both of them indicated that there was nothing they could do while it is pending a decision. Once I receive a decision then they may be able to assist.

Frustrating part of my review is that the condition has already been approved. It was awarded at 2/5 in 2006. When I submitted for reassesment it was declined and BPA advised I appeal as policy change indicated that at minimum it should be 4/5 and the lawyer and specialist they recommended both...

My Departmental Review went to Step 3 Feb 2019 so May 19 is pretty good. Congrats

My application went to Suspended by itself and I had to start over again. It is currently at Step 3 and has been for 59 weeks. Initially I submitted my claim in 2016 so I have been waiting for a decision for over 3 years. I have called and talked to multiple people and still no answer on why it...
